May guitar is a tribute to Linda’s long history with Maton, and is the successor to our Custom Shop W.A. May model which was named after Linda’s father, Bill May.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe L.E. May is a sleeker version of the W.A. May and features a full-depth Traditional cutaway body as well as a slightly smaller headstock, which is modelled on the original Maton headstock from the 1940s but replaces the raised centre piece with a pinstriped centre profile. The art déco inspired pearl inlay remains, and the Ebony headstock is bound with Yellow Wood Ash. The neck is figured Queensland Maple, with an ebony fretboard and bridge.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundboard is carefully selected and thicknessed European Spruce and the back and sides are figured Victorian Blackwood. The body is bound with Satin Box outer binding and BWB inner binding, and a sound-hole that features a timber rosette, perfectly complementing the rest of the guitar.\u003cbr\u003eThe European Spruce soundboard is braced with European Spruce and has a Maple bridge plate. The bracing is “A” shaped for maximum performance and scalloped to achieve the exact tonal response and deflection we are looking for.\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar has a gloss finish and is stained to bring out the best in the figure of the body and neck, and comes with an AP5 PRO pickup system and gold Ratio open-back tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"guitar_content__features animated\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"label\"\u003eGuitar Name:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"value\"\u003eL.E.
